Get ready for the holidays with these crazy easy gluten free gingerbread cheesecake bars!

Keep reading and watch the video tutorial I made so you can watch and bake along with me!! Making this cheesecake bars recipe is so easy!

It has been ages since I have made gluten free cheesecake bars! You will remember the gluten free brownie cheesecake bars with Butterfinger that I did last year. Those are still a family favorite!! Another favorite are these mini gluten free peanut butter chocolate cheesecakes!

Today I am in the mood for gingerbread!! This is one of Mr. Fearless Dining’s favorites and I want to spoil him a little bit :-).

Instead of making the whole gluten free cheesecake gluten free, I decided to just layer the different cheesecake flavors. It certainly makes these gluten free cheesecake bars pretty!!

If you don’t feel like bars, I get it! Cheesecake can be hard to cut nicely into bars! My edges are certainly not perfect as you can see below!!

But then again, who cares when the cheesecake bars taste this good?? These gluten free cheesecake bars are creamy and soft, with just the right blend of gingerbread and plain cheesecake.

The secret to this gingerbread cheesecake are the gingerbread spices. These handy spices make everything yummy! Toss it into oatmeal or your favorite cookie recipe for a new twist!

Variations and Substitutions for Gluten Free Cheesecake

There are so many ways to vary these gluten free cheesecake bars!

• Instead of gingerbread, swirl some cranberry sauce for a beautiful bright swirl in your gluten free cheesecake.
• Feel free to make a whole cheesecake in a springform pan!
• Try using gluten free gingersnaps instead of gluten free graham crackers for the crust
• Add a chocolate drizzle!

What can you use to make a gluten free crust?

There are several gluten free graham crackers on the market that make a delicious crust for this cheesecake. I used Schar Honeygrams, but I also like:

• S’moreables
• Pamela’s Honeygrams
• Schar Honeygrams
• Gluten free oreo type cookies

I made a video to show you how easy these gluten free holiday cheesecake bars are to make!

Definitely, let me know if you have any questions…some of the angles are a bit off. I am learning how to use my iPhone to do the overhead shots, but the video size reset. This means you only get the side angle shots made into this video :-(.

Making a video is such a learning process. I hope to keep perfecting this because I do believe video helps teach people how easy gluten free baking can be.
